Step 5: Attach cables

The Lexmark C910 can be attached to a network or locally (directly to a computer).

Network printing You can attach your printer to a network using standard network

cables. A 10BaseT/100BaseTX Fast Ethernet port is standard on the

Lexmark C910n and Lexmark ABCdn. You can add a Token-Ring or 10Base2 Ethernet port to any printer model by installing an optional MarkNet internal print server.

To attach the printer to a network:

1 Make sure the printer is turned off and unplugged. 2 Connect the printer to a LAN drop or hub using standard

cabling that is compatible with your network:

— Token-Ring, Ethernet 10BaseT, or Ethernet 100BaseTX

networks (Category 5) use an RJ-45 connector

Attach cables

— Token-Ring networks (Shielded Twisted Pair) use a DB9

connector

— Ethernet 10Base2 networks (Thin Coax) use a

BNC T-connector

The printer automatically adjusts itself for the network speed.

Local printing You can attach your printer locally using either a USB port or a

parallel port.

Attach cables

Note: All Windows operating

systems support parallel connections. However, only the Windows 98, Windows Me, and Windows 2000 operating systems support USB connections. Some UNIX, Linux, and Macintosh compu ters als o support USB connections. Refer to your computer documentation to see if your system supports USB.

• A USB port requires a USB printer cable, such as Lexmark part

number 12A2405 (2 m).

• A parallel port requires an IEEE-1284 compliant parallel cable

such as Lexmark part number 1329605 (10 ft) or 1427498 (20 ft).

If you install an optional USB/Parallel Interface Card to the Lexmark C910n or Lexmark ABCdn, you need a 1284 A-C parallel cable such as Lexmark part number 43H5171 (9.8 ft), or a USB cable such as Lexmark part number 12A2405 (2 m).

If you have installed an optional Tri-Port Adapter, you can locally attach the printer with a serial cable. We recommend Lexmark part number 1038693 (50 ft). For details on LocalTalk or infrared connections, refer to the documentation that shipped with the Tri-Port Adapter.

To attach the printer to a computer:

1 Make sure the printer, computer, and any other attached

devices are turned off and unplugged.

2 Connect the printer to the computer using a parallel or USB

cable. — Use an IEEE-1284 compliant parallel cable to ensure that

you can access all of your printer functions.

— Be sure to match the USB symbol on the cable to the USB

symbol on the printer.
